BY SUSAN ROSSER

The Labels We Wear WHEN I WAS A KID, ONE OF MY FRIENDS CASUALLY DECLARED SHE WAS LONG WAISTED. DESPITE THE FACT THAT I DID NOT KNOW WHAT LONG WAISTED MEANT, I QUICKLY CHIMED IN that I too was long waisted. Sure, I could be long waisted. Sounds good. Young girls aim to fit in. Back then, I loved liverwurst on rye with a slice of raw onion. On weekends, my dad would often prepare our favorite sandwich for lunch. But if one were to inquire in front of my friends if I enjoyed liverwurst, I would have turned my nose up in unison with my comrades. Apparently, liverwurst is not popular among the under 12 set.

Over the years that followed, I came to learn what long waisted actually meant (this is way before Google) and reconciled myself to the fact that not only was I indeed not long waisted; but that my waist seemed to sit unnaturally close to my head. I was aghast. I was, of all things — short waisted. That just sounds bad. Short waisted. No one wants to be short anything.

But then one day it dawned on me. If I was indeed short waisted, then it must stand to reason that I would possess stunningly long legs. I scrambled to the full length mirror only to discover my legs were not the long Barbie-doll-esque limbs I had envisioned. Now I was perplexed. I wondered, if I was not long waisted and I was not long legged — what was the deal with my body? Wherein did my height lie?

Well, as it turns out, a good deal of my body’s length extends from my freakishly high waist to the tops of my less-thanstellar legs. This is such an odd shape it has yet to be named. I now know there are many labels for women’s bodies. Apple and pear come to mind, but there are others, and thankfully they don’t include any additional references to bulbous fruits. Sure, cognizance of body types may aid some women in selecting jeans, but the vast majority would likely be able to discern a pair of flattering pants without a comparison to produce.

Deerfield Beach!

While in my 20s and enjoying a day at the beach with a few girlfriends, the conversation turned to a mutual acquaintance who everyone unanimously agreed was “so sweet.” The discussion progressed into a session of naming many young women who were also “sweet.” By this point, the warmth of the sun had lulled me into a half-trance and I was not contributing to the list development.

Finally, I bolted upright from my towel and declared, “I’m sweet.” My announcement received quite a laugh.

My friends were quick to shed light on some of my better qualities; but they all agreed “sweet” was not among them. In truth, I knew this would be their reaction. I had been seeking a laugh all along. Because even though I was in my 20s by this point, I was still the class clown — a label I wore proudly throughout my school years.

I have worn many labels. Some good, some not so good.

For me, once I had that class clown label on my proverbial lapel it was self fulfilling. But as is so often the case, my clown label was accompanied with an underachiever stamp. “If only she would apply herself” was typically the theme of any teacher conference my parents attended.

Let’s face it, we all wear labels: smart, goofy, silly, loud, shy, lazy, ambitious, outgoing, daring, rich, poor and anxious to name a few. Some we like better than others.

For me, I’ve tried to hang onto that class clown label, while simultaneously dismantling the underachiever tag. And all these years later, I am pretty sure my love of liverwurst has contributed to what I now realize is my pear-shaped figure; although I identify as hourglass.

BE PREPARED! places anywhere can match the wonderful, “ Few year-round climate and natural beauty that we enjoy in South Florida. But our paradise can become perilous when hurricane force winds rip through our neighborhoods.

Last year, the massive destruction and power outages from Hurricane Irma lasted for weeks. And Irma wasn’t even the highest category storm when it hit us.

That’s why I’m urging all residents to read the L A M A R F I S H E R LO G O O P T I O N S - PAG E 2 Broward County Hurricane Preparedness Guide now – before the next storm comes.

Broward.org/Hurricane has important pre-storm checklists and other valuable information including 1 the locations of shelters for you and your pets.

Local Author and Deerfield Beach Historian Sally J. Ling Publishes New Book

Sally J. Ling, a Deerfield Beach historian, researcher and author has published a new book, “Women of the Ring.” The book is a historical mystery following the tale of a sapphire engagement ring and its owners throughout time, dating back to the 1400s.

When Brooklyn jeweler Abel Moody is asked by his friend, Julia Townsend, to clean and appraise her heirloom sapphire engagement ring, he remembers an old sketch his deceased father left him – it matches the ring. This remarkable coincidence sends him on a clandestine journey to Paris where at an ancient church a priest gives him a book – “Women of the Ring” – that reveals centuries of the ring’s ownership.

In it, he discovers the long hidden story of the world’s first engagement ring and the tragic death of its owner. Can a ring be cursed with bad luck? Or are the owner’s calamities simply the byproduct of bad choices, coincidence or merely life itself?

Women of the Ring is available as both a paperback novel and an e-book. You can find it on Amazon.

For this once in a lifetime experience, the two music legends will pull from their rich catalogs, debut songs from their album and share warm and intimate stories from their journeys, the 1960’s and the Laurel Canyon scene they helped build.

WHEN: Nov. 18 at 7pm WHERE: Au-Rene Theater at the Broward Center for Performing Arts, Fort Lauderdale COST: Tickets range between $45 and $135 plus ticketing fees. Club level and VIP tickets are also available. Visit browardcenter.org for more information.

Outré Theater Company Presents “The Christians” In Outré’s last season of works at the Pompano Cultural Center, the theater company performed an intriguing — and often controversial— series of shows, including Orwell’s “1984,” a Green Day rock opera called“American Idiot”, a feminist take on Reservoir Dogs called “Reservoir Dolls” and a musical about a transgender rockstar, “Hedwig and the Angry Inch.”

In Outré’s upcoming production of “The Christians” Outré will explore faith, belief and the seemingly insurmountable distance that separates us.

“This play, while set in a Protestant Christian church, creates a dialogue that transcends religion, and is incredibly poignant at this time in our nation,” said Skye Whitcomb, Outré’s Artistic Director and the director of the production. “The thing that strikes me most about ‘The Christians’ is that for all the struggle that the characters go through, there is no ‘bad guy.’ Every one of these characters is coming from a place of personal truth, of belief, and they struggle with reconciling the differences in their beliefs. There’s this heartbreaking distance

between them that tugs at the soul. And one of the most wrenching questions that the play forces us to contemplate is what we should do when those we love believe something that is not only different from what we believe, but believe something that we feel is actually dangerous.”

WHEN: Oct. 19 - Nov. 11; Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm; Sundays at 2pm WHERE: Pompano Beach Cultural Center, 50 W. Atlantic Blvd., Pompano Beach COST: $42pp for adults; $20.50 for students.

Bicyclists Required to Walk Bikes Across Hillsboro Bridge On Sept. 24, the Deerfield Beach City Commission officially announced an approved ordinance that will make it unlawful for bicyclists to ride their bikes on the sidewalk as they cross over the Hillsboro Bridge. The new law requires any bicyclist wishing to cross the bridge by sidewalk to dismount and walk his/her bike across the bridge.

Deerfield Beach Now Requires Vacation Rentals to be Registered

Effective Oct. 1, 2018, vacation rental properties in Deerfield Beach must be registered with the City. Homeowners who rent their residential dwelling unit to transient occupants more than three times in a calendar year, for periods of less than 30 days, or one calendar month (whichever is less), must register the property with the City of Deerfield Beach. The City officiated Section 98-106 of the Deerfield Beach Land Development Code, which requires vacation rentals to register with the City and also to comply with certain vacation rental standards.

Registration packages can be obtained from the Planning & Zoning Division at City Hall and are also available online at http://deerfieldbeach.com/1080/Planning-Zoning. For additional information on the registration requirements, please contact the Planning & Zoning Division at 954-480-4206.

Oceans234 Joins Surfrider Foundation’s Ocean Friendly Restaurants Program Oceans234 has become the first Deerfield Beach restaurant to join Surfrider Foundation’s Ocean Friendly Restaurants Program. In response to the proliferation of plastic pollution, the Broward Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation (a nonprofit service group with 81 chapters nationwide dedicated to ocean conservation) launched this program locally this year.

Participating restaurants in the program must follow five criteria: use no expanded polystyrene (styrofoam), follow proper recycling practices, use only reusable tableware for onsite dining and provide disposable utensils for takeout food only upon request, offer no plastic bags for takeout or to-go orders and provide straws only upon request. In addition, the restaurant must choose two additional environmental initiatives from a provided list, such as not selling plastic bottles, offering vegan or vegetarian food, carrying only “Best Choice” seafood or having energy efficient appliances.

According to statistics published in three scientific research papers quoted by National Geographic, there are an estimated 5.25 trillion pieces of plastic in the ocean, and that number continues to rise daily. The Ocean Friendly Restaurant Program works with local businesses to combat plastic pollution.

“We started to adopt some of Surfrider’s practices at Oceans 234, and love to continue the trend,” said Oceans 234 owner Danielle Rosse. “I have actually been working closely with many vendors to figure out how we can make some of these eco-friendly products more affordable so that more restaurants make these changes. I think they are starting to find some solutions.”

For more information about the Ocean Friendly Restaurants program, go to: surfrider. org/programs/ocean-friendly-restaurants. You can also contact Kelly Charles at ofr@broward. surfrider.org.

JM Family Campus Headquarters Will Undergo a $150 million Renovation in Deerfield Beach

BY DANIELLE CHARBONNEAU

PHOTO BY JOE YERKOVICH

JM Family Enterprises is launching a $150 million headquarters campus renovation and expansion in Deerfield Beach. The renovation is projected to take three years and will transform the grounds into a pedestrian-oriented campus with eight structures, including three office buildings, a

two-story dining hall, a 20,000-square-foot sports complex, 900-vehicle parking garage and a 55,000-square-foot conference and training center. The plans include demolition of seven out of eleven of the current campus buildings. JM Family Enterprises announced the renovation in a press release on April 18. The campus overhaul coincides with the organization’s 50th Anniversary celebration “Our intention is to reinvest in our company, our loyal associates, and our headquarters in Deerfield Beach,” said Colin Brown, chairman and CEO. “JM Family has called Deerfield Beach home since 1981 and these plans reaffirm our

22

Deerfield Beach!

commitment to this city, the community and our role in the local economy. We know that these efforts will modernize the way we work and build an even stronger and more unified JM Family.”

JM Family Enterprises, Inc. is a $15.1 billion diversified automotive company with more than 4,200 associates across North America. The Deerfield headquarters is home to more than 1,200 associates from JM Family Enterprises, Southeast Toyota Distributors, Southeast Toyota Finance and JM&A Group.

The current campus includes 11 buildings and on-site services including a health and wellness center, fitness center, two company subsidized cafes, a salon and the JM family center — a 15,000 square-foot facility with nine classrooms, an art studio, parent resource center, outdoor play area and vegetable garden. All of these amenities will be incorporated into the new campus.

“JM Family’s existing facilities are an eclectic mix of buildings, some of which we designed and built ourselves, and others we acquired along Jim Moran Blvd,” said Mike Tiufekchiev, vice president of Enterprise Services for JM Family. “Our facilities have served us well, however, some of our buildings are dated and require significant improvements in order to bring them up to modern levels of efficiency and functionality. The decision to upgrade our existing campus has been in the design stage for several years and the timing to move forward now with construction was ideal, as it coincided with our 50th Anniversary celebration.”

’Twas the night before

Thanksgiving IMPRESS HOUSE GUESTS WITH THESE MAKE-AHEAD MEALS This time of year there are plenty of cooking guides for Thanksgiving — which in and of itself is another thing for which we can all be grateful. With that in mind, I have decided to focus on the night before the big meal. As families find themselves spread out across the country, many hosts find themselves with a house full of guests on Wednesday night. Who wants to (or even has time to) make two huge meals back to back? Here is a game plan for some homemade meals you can prepare weeks in advance and freeze. Just defrost, add a few accoutrements and serve. Your guests will feel special!

RECIPES AND PHOTOS BY MRS. KOSSENFLOFFER

Boeuf Bourguignon 6-8 servings Like so many home cooks before me, the first recipe I made from Julia Child’s “Mastering the Art of French Cooking” was boeuf bourguignon. I followed the recipe exactly and the end result was impressive; however, it was a ton of work. After peeling 24 baby white onions, I was ready to skip the beef and head right to the bourguignon. Below, I have taken a few shortcuts, but it is still a deeply satisfying meal.

INGREDIENTS

6 ounces bacon, cut into lardons (1/4 inch sticks) 1 tablespoon olive oil 3 pounds stewing beef, cut into 2 inch cubes 1 pound carrots, sliced diagonally into 1 inch chucks 2 yellow onions, sliced 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 1 teaspoon salt 3 tablespoons flour

3 cups full-bodied red wine 3 cups beef stock (ore more) 1 tablespoon tomato paste 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 teaspoon fresh thyme 1 bay leaf 12 ounces frozen baby onions 1 pound button or baby bella mushrooms, quartered 4 tablespoons unsalted butter fresh parsley for serving

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 450 degrees In a large Dutch oven, saute the bacon in the oil until brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Dry the beef with paper towels. Do not skip this step. The beef will not brown if it is wet and a lot of the flavor will come from browning of the beef. Raise the heat. Working in batches, brown the beef in the oil and bacon fat on all sides. Do not overcrowd the pot. Remove the beef and add it to the bacon.

Saute the carrot and onion in the fat and cook until the onions are light brown.

Return the beef and bacon to the pot and add the salt and pepper. Sprinkle the flour over the beef and toss it around until everything is evenly coated. Set the Dutch oven in the oven, uncovered for 8 minutes. Give it a good toss about halfway through. (This step is worth keeping in because it browns the flour.) Remove from the oven and turn the oven down to 325 degrees.

Stir in the wine and stock so that the beef is just covered. Add the tomato paste, garlic, thyme and bay leaf. Turn down the heat, cover and simmer for 2-3 hours until the beef is very tender.

While the beef is cooking prepare the mushrooms and onions. Melt the butter in a large saute pan. Add the onions and saute until they are browned. Add the onions to the stew. In the same pan add a little more butter and sauce the mushrooms until they are browned. Add the mushrooms to the stew. Taste and add salt and pepper if needed.

At this point, you can freeze the stew for later use. Defrost in the refrigerator one day before you plan to serve it.

Reheat the stew in a Dutch oven. Sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve right out of the pot with a good sourdough, crusty French bread or over egg noodles. Don’t forget the wine.

Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup with Russian Roast Beef Sliders

26

Deerfield Beach!

One of my go-to dishes to freeze are meatballs of any kind. Just make sure you give yourself plenty of time to defrost the balls. If you try to stir them up while it’s still frozen, you can accidentally break up the meatballs and end up with meat sauce. Of course, people have suffered worse fates. Serve these baby with some warmed up naan, mango chutney, cucumber raita and basmati rice.

See next page for the recipes.

Mumbai Meatballs Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup with Russian Roast Beef Sliders 8 servings

When it comes to feeding a crowd, there aren’t many easier options than soup and sandwiches. The red pepper soup is creamy without cream and perfect for dunking. This recipe makes 12, which of course you can easily double. But if you have that many people staying with you — well, maybe ordering pizza isn’t such a bad idea.

INGREDIENTS

2 3 1 2 1

onions, peeled and chopped carrots, peeled and chopped parsnip, peeled and chopped cloves garlic, peeled and minced quart chicken or vegetable broth,

DIRECTIONS

6

red bell peppers, roasted, seeded, deveined, peeled and roughly chopped 1 teaspoon fresh thyme 15 ounce can of chopped tomatoes

Preheat the oven to 350. Place the peppers on a sheet pan and cook for about 30 minutes, until the skin starts to darken and blister. Remove from the oven. Wrap in foil. When the peppers are cool, peel the skins, remove the ribs and seeds and chop In a heavy pot, saute the onions, carrots and parsnip until softened. Add the garlic and saute for 2 minutes.

Add the red peppers, stock, thyme, tomatoes and rice. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 30 minutes.

Working in batches, puree the soup in a blender. (Don’t overfill the blender.) Return soup to the pot and keep warm until ready to serve.

SLIDERS makes 12 sliders 1 1/2 pounds deli roast beef, sliced thinly 12 slider buns such as Martin’s 1/2 pound provolone 1/2 cup French fried onions (optional) such as French’s sliced pickles (optional) melted butter spicy Russian dressing (recipe follows) DIRECTIONS

Preheat the oven to 350.

Cover the bottom of a 9 z 13 inch baking dish with a little bit of the melted butter. Without separating the rolls, place the bottoms in the baking dish. Spread the dressing over the rolls. Place the roast beef, provolone, onions and pickles. Place the tops of the buns over the sliders and brush with melted butter. Bake for 15 minutes.

For the dressing, combine equal parts mayonnaise and ketchup, add a touch of Dijon mustard and hot sauce to taste.

Spicy Peanut Brownies 9-12 brownies Since you are probably knee deep in pie baking, here is an easy dessert.

Buy a box of brownie mix. (Ghirardelli is my favorite.) Follow the instructions on the box and add 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper and a big handful of salted peanuts. Bake according to package instructions. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

FOR THE SAUCE

Saute the onions in the butter until translucent. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add the spices and stir until fragrant, just a minute or two. Add the crushed tomatoes and the whole tomatoes, breaking them up with your hands.

Silver Tsunami I S B ROWA R D R E A DY ?

A newly-released comprehensive study examines Broward County’s readiness for a mass influx of elderly residents by 2030.

Long waiting lists for elderly services, holes in the safety net, a lack of coordination between service providers, isolation and a poor perception of seniors were all key areas of concern raised by the study. Point! Publishing digs into the study’s findings.

T

BY DANIELLE CHARBONNEAU

he number of Americans ages 65 and older is set to explode from more than 46 million to over 98 million by 2060. Nearly 20 million Americans will be over the age of 85. Florida has the highest concentration of older residents in the U.S.; Adults over the age of 65 currently make up 22.5 percent of Broward County’s population, totaling roughly 430,000 residents. Broward County also has the fastest growing population of people over the age of 85 in the state. That population is projected to grow by 31.9 percent by 2030, totaling approximately 63,000 residents by 2030.

Given this mass influx of the elderly — an occurrence some are calling the “Silver Tsunami” — communities are faced with the question of how to prepare. The question prompted the Community Foundation of Broward, the United Way of Broward County and the Jewish Federation of Broward County to jointly commission a comprehensive study to pinpoint the specific needs and challenges facing the county’s elderly residents. The study — aptly titled “The Silver Tsunami: Is Broward Ready?”— utilized focus groups, key informant interviews, local, state and national data sources, surveys and public forums to gain a clearer understanding of elderly needs. A synopsis of the study was officially released in June and mailed to city government and community leaders in August.

“This study was our first step. Now we are re-meeting and saying, ‘Now, based on this information, what is our next step? Is there a signature project? Is there a demonstration or activity to pursue?’ We’re in the process of doing that now,” said Linda B. Carter, the President and CEO of Broward Community Foundation, which manages philanthropic funds and provides grants to meaningful organizations.

The study boiled down to four key areas of concern: holes in the safety net, the effects of isolation on the elderly, limited finances of senior residents and the public’s poor perception of elders. Utilizing the study, Carter hopes city leaders, nonprofit organizations and philanthropic grant providers can band together to tackle the issues.

“We can’t solve this on our own. We need a whole community embracing this,” said Carter. “It’s the little things that everybody can do that equal a larger impact.”

“If we don’t act now, we will face a crisis that significantly impacts our community. Now is the time to step-up and shape Broward’s future.

The wave is coming and there’s no time to delay.”

— From the “Silver Tsunami: Is Broward Ready?” study

Holes in the Safety Net

One of the key findings the Silver Tsunami study revealed was a lack of coordination “between medical, community-based, nonprofit and for-profit service providers, making it difficult to connect the dots to achieve a continuum of care.”

Mark Adler, the Executive Director of Meals on Wheels of South Florida, said this lack of coordination between service providers is a problem his organization sees frequently.

Approximately 650 volunteers for Meals on Wheels visit homes throughout Broward County each week to conduct intake assessments for elderly individuals in need of services. Meals on Wheels is Broward County’s only federally funded senior nutrition provider, delivering meals weekly to low-income, home-bound seniors who cannot leave their home without assistance and often have chronic health issues.

The Meals on Wheels volunteers are often the first point of contact for elders in need of assistance. The volunteers conduct an eight-page intake assessment and enter the individual’s information into a statewide database, which adds them to the waiting lists for state and federal programs. Then, the waiting game begins.

Waiting lists for senior services are long now, and growing longer. At Meals on Wheels, Adler said the wait list for free delivered meals is currently 1,013 people long. By comparison, Meals on Wheels serves free meals to 1,000 people; meaning the wait list exceeds the number of those being served.

Of the 1,013 people on the waiting list, 490 are considered “priority one” applicants.

Priority one applicants are those who have no caretaker, little-to-no support, usually live alone, are home-bound, low income and often chronically ill. Adler shared a recent story of visiting a man on the wait list who had no legs, no family, was partially deaf, chronically ill and had no consistent way of getting food.

“He was living off peanut butter and jelly,” Adler said.

An individual like this can occasionally count on community food pantries or the kindness of acquaintances, but nothing consistent. Meals on Wheels does have a $50 a week food delivery service for five days of food, but for seniors applying for Meals on Wheels who often live solely on social security and receive, on average, only $600 to $800 a month in benefits, $50 a week is sometimes too expensive.

The Meals on Wheels waiting list, Adler said, also moves very slow. Last year only 82 spots opened up. Last month: only 12.

“Most of the people on our waiting list will die before they ever get meals from us,” Adler said.

In his time at Meals on Wheels, Adler said

Table 2: Aging and Disability Resource Center of Broward County Waitlist

Program Area

he’s witnessed the wait list go from being consistently around 300 people long about ten years ago, to now being consistently 1,000 people long. Adler attributes this to a variety of factors, but mainly decreased funding and increased need.

Meals on Wheels receives 65 percent of their budget from the Older Americans Act (OAA). The federal budget for nutrition services through OAA has decreased by roughly 43 percent, dropping from $10,002,339 in 2005 to $5,726,047 in 2018 [see table 1], while the cost of living and the overall need (due to a vastly growing older population) has increased.

“Most of the people on our waiting list will die before they ever get meals from us.” — Mark Adler, Executive Director of Meals on Wheels South Florida Adler said eight years ago Meals on Wheels was almost entirely funded by the OAA, but as funding has decreased, the Meals on Wheels executive team has pushed to diversify funding.

Meals on Wheels is just one example of a senior service with a long waiting list.

The waiting list for Medicaid managed long-term care through Broward County is over 3,000 long. The Silver Tsunami study revealed more than 6,500 Broward seniors are currently on waitlists for elder services. [see table 2] “That was something I found surprising,” said Kirk Englehardt, Vice President of Marketing and Communications for the Broward Community Foundation. “Think about it — one senior waiting months or years to get whatever service they might need is one too many…We need to dig in to that to figure out why.”

While seniors are on waiting lists for state and federal programs, Adler said coordinating with other nonprofit service providers and creating a continuum of care has been challenging. In the past, because of HIPAA laws, service providers could not share information. Adler is working toward a solution. About three months ago, he helped to create a Senior Services sub-committee of the nonprofit executive alliance of Broward (which is made up of 80 CEOs and executive directors of Broward County nonprofit

organizations). The committee is working on building a “blanketed memorandum of understanding” for all the agencies that are members of the committee to allow them to exchange client information once a client has signed a release of information.

“That way we can actually talk to each other,” Adler said. “That’s just the tip of the iceberg. That’s kind of the first step in trying to coordinate some of the care.”

Adler said navigating the senior services arena is extremely challenging, even for him.

“Even as a nonprofit CEO in Broward I still find it hard to access the things I am trying to find for clients,” he said. “Really that coordination of everything is key. There’s such limited resources and our older adults have limited capacities in how much they can actually handle on their own, so every little barrier that’s put up becomes a giant roadblock if they can’t get past it.”

Effects of Isolation

The second key finding the Silver Tsunami study found was that isolation of seniors is of extreme concern. Isolation contributes to increased depression and anxiety, reduced community engagement, reduced nutrition and medication management,

and increased medical problems.

“Isolation is especially bad for those who have lost a loved one or lost mobility,” the study stated. “This issue was further amplified when seniors didn’t have local family for help.”

“Elders often feel trapped with no purpose and nowhere to turn,” Carter said. “One of the ways to combat isolation is to create communities where seniors can ‘age in place’ — walk, shop, get care and maintain a good quality of life near their home.”

Carter said she hopes cities will think strategically when it comes to urban planning and development.

A representative for the City of Pompano Beach said the City has already started to take the Silver Tsunami into account as reflected in two recent decisions.

In 2016, the City of Pompano Beach’s Development Review Committee approved Deerfield Beach!

“Elders often feel trapped with no purpose and nowhere to turn...

One of the ways to combat isolation is to create communities where seniors can ‘age in place’ — walk, shop, get care and maintain a good quality of life near their home.”

— Linda B. Carter, President and CEO of Broward Community Foundation

plans for Heritage at Pompano Station — a mixed-use, residential complex located at 400 N. Flagler Ave. that will target tenants over the age of 55 and will be located in the City’s planned walkable downtown area.

Heritage at Pompano Station will have seven stories and 116 one- and two-bedroom apartments.

In addition, the City of Pompano Beach proposed using $8 million in GO Bond funds to construct a new senior citizens center to handle increased demand for senior programs in the NW sector of the city.

The GO Bond was voted for and approved on April 24 of this year. The center will be constructed using the Bond once a property can be acquired.

Jerry Stryker, the CEO of John Knox Village — Pompano Beach’s largest elderly

community, which houses approximately 900 people over the age of 62 on a 70-acre campus — said another way to combat isolation is to find ways to engage seniors with the community at-large. He hopes John Knox Village will eventually be connected to Pompano Beach’s planned downtown and Innovation District via walkable paths and public transportation.

Stryker has been a vocal advocate for ending isolation and bridging generational gaps. He envisions Broward County as a place where not only do the young and old intermingle to “work, live and play,” but where the young serve their elders and the old teach the young. He said multi-generational exchange is critically important.

Englehardt agreed: “There doesn’t seem to be the amount of value placed on seniors

34

Deerfield Beach!

as we should. The wealth of knowledge… they have spent their lives contributing, not only to our country, but to our community right here. There is so much that they still have to offer but instead there’s this tendency to cast them aside and treat them as a burden instead of taking them and squeezing every drop of value out of them and making them continue to feel valued as a part of this community. ” The poor perception of the elderly — a lack of respect and the tendency to cast aside — was another key issue raised in the Silver Tsunami study.

Limited Finances

As reported by the Social Security Administration in March 2018, the average social security benefit in the state of Florida was $1,395.31 a month. While the Social Security Administration recommends seniors only rely on social security for 40 percent of their living costs, many seniors are outliving their savings and living entirely on social security benefits.

With the high costs of living, expensive medical bills and relatively low social security benefits, the study found many seniors are struggling financially.

According to American Fact Finder’s 2016 statistics, 23.4 percent of Pompano Beach seniors and 17.7 percent of seniors in Deerfield Beach live below the poverty guideline. In Pompano Beach, that equates to almost one out of four seniors.

“The study revealed that the problem wasn’t that seniors had failed to save, but rather their longevity — combined with the cost of living — is exceeding their savings,” stated the study.

The study concluded that creating more affordable options for housing, medical services and caregiver support will be critical as the Silver Tsunami approaches.

While the long-term effects of the Silver Tsunami cannot be entirely predicted, the study urges all community members and leaders, at the local, state and federal level, to prepare.

“If we don’t act now, we will face a crisis that significantly impacts our community,” the study states. “Now is the time to step up and shape Broward’s future. The wave is coming and there’s no time to delay.” Y

Seaboard Air Line Railway

Deerfield Beach!

hile Henry Flagler’s Florida East Coast Railroad serviced the eastern portion of southern Florida communities beginning in 1896, it wasn’t until 1926 that the competing Seaboard Air Line Railway pushed south to Miami and serviced the western portion of these communities.

Deerfield’s station was built on Hillsboro Boulevard west of town. The terminal building, designed by Gustav Maass, was Spanish Mediterranean in style and featured arched entryways, arcades, stucco walls, and a barrel-tile roof. The stucco finish was painted in the characteristic pink color accented by green trim. Bill Muenzenmaier, past president of the South Florida Railway Museum, said the depot had three storage bays and was one of the larger depots built at the time. When the station opened in 1926, it was dedicated by S. Davies Warfield, president and CEO of the railroad, and John W. Martin, governor of Florida.

The Butler brothers, J.D. and George, prominent area farmers, were instrumental in obtaining right of way for the depot. Upon opening, it immediately became a produce shipping center with farmers from Pompano to as far away as Lake Okeechobee renting warehouses there. Even the Butler brothers had two warehouses built in 1927, one of tin and the other of wood. They shipped carloads of produce – cucumbers, beans, peppers, and eggplant – from the depot to Chicago and New York. Passenger trains also made regular stops as well – The Silver Star, The Orange Blossom Special, Sunland, Palmland, Floridian, and Silver Meteor.

Outside paving was originally laid in 1927 but was repaved by the Army Air Corps in 1942 when the Boca Raton Army Air Field occupied land west of Boca Raton during World War II. The military used the depot warehouse to store materials for building the base, and many

South Florida Railway Museum

soldiers traveling to temporary basic training facilities at the Boca Raton Hotel disembarked at the station.

Al Rouffa was a 22 year old soldier heading to the Club for basic training when he witnessed a tragic event. Just after getting off his train and while it was still in the station, a second train plowed full speed into the back of it. One person was killed and four injured in the incident.

The railroad station remained in use throughout the next five decades, but by 1990 was in such poor condition that the Greater Deerfield Beach Chamber of Commerce spearheaded an effort to restore the station to its original 1920’s splendor. The $300,000 face lift, completed in 1992, included a new clay tile roof, metal rollupdoors at the baggage area, replastered outer walls, and refinished wooden floors. The renovation also created space for a museum in the old freight room. Since then, additional renovations have been made to the building.

The station is listed on the National Registry of Historic Places as well as a Historic Site with the State of Florida Department of Archives. It currently is served by Amtrak and Tri-Rail commuter rail system.

(The Seaboard Air Line began on April 14, 1900, running from Virginia south to Florida and west to Alabama. It ran until July 1, 1967, when it merged with the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad to form the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad.)

The South Florida Railway Museum housed in the depot opened in 1994 and is headed by a dedicated group of railroad enthusiasts who volunteer their time. The museum consists of several miniature railroad displays and artifacts.

The organization is qualified to instruct the public in the “Operation Lifesaver” program, to make people aware of our rail crossings and how they can make them safer. They are also certified to teach the Boy Scout Merit Badge programs that pertain to railroading.

The museum is open Wednesdays 6pm to 9pm and Saturdays Noon to 4pm. For more information, please email the museum at sfrm.org@gmail.com.

Ole’ Orange Crate

The orange caboose that sits on rails next to the Old School House and City Hall on NE Second St., is a former Seaboard Coast Line car. “The caboose was originally built in 1951 as a boxcar to carry general freight. When Atlantic Coast Line and the Seaboard Air Line merged to become the Seaboard Coastline, they took the boxcars and made cabooses out of them,” said Muenzenmaier, who along with Ed Dietrich spearheaded restoration efforts through the Deerfield Beach Historical Society.

When renovations are complete in 2019, the caboose will serve as an educational tool with visitors enjoying regularly scheduled tours as they listen to fascinating railroad history recounted by volunteers from the South Florida Railroad Museum and Deerfield Beach Historical Society.

Lighthouse Point, Pompano!, and Deerfield Beach! are three community magazines. Collectively, the publications have a distribution of 21,000 with 60,000 readers. The complimentary magazines are distributed at hotels, retail centers, professional offices and dining establishments.

The goal of our magazines is to create a sense of community while sharing neighborhood news, featuring local people and informing readers about regional events.

OUR PRIORITIES

AROUND THE POINT CITY BEAT

In addition to covering fun local stories about interesting people, exciting adventures, beautiful homes, awesome restaurants and special events, we also cover topics of national importance through a local lens. For example, reporter DANIELLE CHARBONNEAU has done a number of investigative features. One examined the e˜ ect of the opioid epidemic on Broward County. This year, she assessed Broward County’s readiness for the “Silver Tsunami” — a mass influx of senior citizens aging over 85 in the next 12 years. And in another edition, she explored DACA by introducing readers to Juliana, the former Pompano Beach High School homecoming queen who, while growing up in Lighthouse Point was an undocumented immigrant.

The magazines also cover hyper-local news. Our intrepid City Beat reporter, MARIE PULEO, has diligently covered city issues in Lighthouse Point and Pompano Beach, covering everything I S B ROWA R D R E A DY ?

A newly-released comprehensive study examines Broward County’s readiness for a mass influx of elderly residents by 2030. Long waiting lists for elderly services, holes in the safety net, a lack of coordination between service providers, isolation and a poor perception of seniors were all key areas of concern raised by the study.

Lighthouse Point magazine digs into the study’s findings.

PROCESS FOR OBTAINING CITY AND COUNTY APPROVALS

Plans for major redevelopment of the Lighthouse Point Yacht Club continue to move forward, but there are still many steps to take in the process of obtaining all the necessary approvals from the city and county. Terry Paterson, developer and part owner of the club, must first get approval for a land use plan amendment, which is needed for rezoning purposes.

Paterson is requesting an amendment of 3.4 gross acres of the yacht club property from “commercial recreation” to “multifamily” residential, in order to build 33 three-story luxury townhomes lining the waterfront. Profits from the sale of the townhomes would be used to subsidize the cost to build a state-of-the-art yacht club facility, which would include a new 35,000-square-foot clubhouse. The estimated expense for the development of the club and land is $32 million.

The developer has said that he hopes to break ground for the new clubhouse oÿ cials, the process for obtaining the necessary by mid-2019. According to city offi approvals could take nine months to a year, not including building permits.

02˛ REZONING 02) THE PROPERTY

After the land use plan amendment process is completed, the 3.4 acres of the yacht club property that were changed from “commercial recreation” to “multifamily” residential must be rezoned from B-2A (“planned business district”) to RM-16 (“four-family residential district”). Rezoning is done by ordinance.

A˙ The Planning and Zoning Board will review the request and make a recommendation to the City Commission. The meeting includes a public hearing.

B˙ The City Commission will vote twice, at two separate meetings, each with a public hearing.

03˛ POSSIBLE CODE CHANGES

In the current redevelopment plans for the yacht club, there are numerous items that don’t meet the city’s code of ordinances, such as the parking, dock width and amount of previous space.

The developer could request code changes, which are made by ordinance.

A˙ The Planning and Zoning Board would review the possible code changes at one of its meetings, and then make a recommendation to the City Commission. The meeting would include a public hearing.

B˙ The City Commission would vote twice on any proposed code changes, at two separate meetings, each with a public hearing.

04˛ CONDITIONAL USE APPROVAL FOR THREE-STORY TOWNHOMES

Three-story townhomes require approval from the Planning and Zoning Board. They are allowed only if they meet certain conditions in the city’s code, as well as other conditions the Planning and Zoning Board can set.

B˙ Another Development Review Committee meeting will take place to review the final site plan before it goes to the Planning and Zoning Board, the Marine Advisory Board and the Community Appearance Board.

C˙ The final site plan will be reviewed at separate meetings of the Marine Advisory Board and the Community Appearance Board, and then the Planning and Zoning Board, each with a public hearing. The Planning and Zoning Board is the body that gives final approval of the site plan, unless the decision is appealed to the City Commission by the developer.

The Planning and Zoning Board could approve the„final site plan„and possible variances at the same meeting as the conditional use approval.

Generally, the final site plan does not go before the City Commission unless the decision of the Planning and Zoning Board is appealed, but due to the magnitude of the project, the Commission will most likely want to review it.

POMPANO BEACH HIGH SCHOOL

All my friends and I, we’re just so shocked and devastated. This thing that happened is so insane. It could happen to us. It could happen to any high school around us. It’s just insane. It happened to people we know. I’m a swimmer and I swam with one of the kids that passed…I’ve been doing pretty good. I’ve been strong, but I just want to help people.

When I heard about the paddle out I said I have to go. I want to see this.

The community was coming together. I’ve grown up on this beach.

I wanted to come here and participate. I surf and paddleboard and I wanted to see everyone together and pay my respects in a traditional way. I think it shows that the whole community is here and that all those victims and families aren’t alone. We’re all in this together. And we’re all here for each other.

O just bring something that brings happiness and brings people out together on a common ground?’” she said.

The paddle out was a no-brainer.

“If you’ve ever met surfers, they’re kind of an awkward breed. We really like being outside, but a lot of us are very to ourselves,” she said. “So paddle outs have become a surfer’s tradition. We thought, what a be’ er way for our community — a surfing community, a beach community — to pay tribute to so many, and allow so many people to be a part of it.”

For Co’ rell, the water is also symbolic.

“That healing water — le’ ing it wash over you,” she said. “It’s all very symbolized in the tradition of a paddle out.”

The night before the paddle out, Co’ rell was worried. The winds had been pumping all week and there had been waves. Linsey went to the beach that night and prayed a prayer she never says: “Please, let the wind go.”

“I never say that,” she said. “We always want surf. And when we have wind we’re really thankful.”

On the day of the paddle out, Co’ rell walked to the beach an hour before the start time. The surf was still strong.

“There was a chest high set of waves that rolled in. We were like, ‘Crap. What are we going to do? There’s so many people out here that don’t know how to surf, they’re going to

n Sunday Feb. 25 Deerfield Beach’s Island Water Sports (IWS) hosted a memorial paddle out to honor the 17 victims of the Feb. 14 Stoneman Douglas shooting. IWS co-owner and youth mentor Linsey Co—rell estimated that approximately 500 to 600 people a—ended the memorial, while about 300 of those participated in the water on surfboards, paddleboards and in kayaks. Participants adorned their boards with flowers and candles, circling just north of the Deerfield Beach Pier. Co—rell said the paddle out was not only a symbolic gesture to support the victims and their families, it was also an opportunity for the local community to come together in solidarity and unity.

“We were blown away by the response,” she said.

“Today was about just being a community.

Being there for those kids who probably feel really alone right now, no ma—er how much is being poured out

get wrecked.’…And then, it suddenly just went flat. The ocean went flat and the wind turned o‰. There was just a peace brought along by everybody and the ocean — it was pre’ y overwhelming.”

The paddle out far exceeded Co’ rell’s expectations. The event had over 5,000 views on Facebook and 500 shares. She had expected only 100 to show up; instead over 500. Even international media a’ ended.

Co’ rell said, in spite of the horror of the tragedy, she’s been inspired by the youth response. As an IWS coach who has been ingrained in the youth community, Co’ rell said she’s seen kids change in the last decade, growing more addicted to their cell phones and more isolated from one another.

“But in the last week,” she said. “I’ve seen more people talking to each other — pu’ ing their phones in their pockets and having conversations. They are really being there for one another — hugging each other and crying with one another. I really think these kids, through this experience, will inspire so many people around them, not only to be aware of their surroundings, but to just look up from their phones.”

Christoph Scheuermann, a German journalist for Der Spiegel (The German News Magazine) who was in a’ endance at the paddle out to cover the aftermath of the shooting, agreed calling the surge of >>>

onto them…Le—ingthem know that there are strangers who are thinking about them.”

Co—rell and her family had the idea for the paddle out the Sunday after the shooting. They had a—ended an “overwhelmingly sad” memorial service at which people were inconsolable.

“It just hit so tragically. And we were like, ‘Man, what can we do to

“I’m here to cover the aftermath of the shooting in Parkland. For many people in Europe — and I guess in the U.S. — it’s a story of a bunch of kids speaking up to a very powerful lobby, the gun lobby. They are seen, at least in Europe and, I guess, in the U.S. as well, as some sort of heroes that the country has desperately been waiting for…They embody so many American values that seem to have been lost in the last one or two years since the election…these kids are so brave and impressive, what they do. And they are taking on these powerful institutions…

They’re just 16, 17, 18 years old. And that’s really impressive.

“That’s why I am here…I think it’s a very important point in history, absolutely. And many people in Europe and the U.S. hope that these kids are about to bring change, which is a big burden on these kids. They’re not even out of school and they have to change this country. Even adults are saying you have to do this now. It’s a big moment in time.”

During the paddle out, surfers, paddleboarders and kayakers form a circle to remember those lost at the tradgey in Parkland.

IN THE WAKE OF THE TRAGEDY IN PARKLAND, POMPANO BEACH, ALONG WITH OTHER CITIES IN BROWARD COUNTY, IS TAKING STEPS TO CONTROL GUNS. THE QUESTION IS...

Just over three weeks following the Feb. 14 shooting tragedy at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, in which a 19-year-old gunman killed 17 people, mostly teenagers, and wounded 17 others, Florida Gov. Rick Scott signed into law a bill that includes the first significant gun restrictions in Florida in decades.

“It’s an example to the entire country that government can, and has, moved The students of fast,” said Scott.

Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, making their voices heard, were the catalyst in bringing about Since the mass shooting, the change.

Pompano Beach city officials have been working together to prevent an event like the one that unfolded in Parkland from happening again.

Any public from schools. oÿcial who violates this law can be removed from oÿc e by the governor, fined up to $5,000 and face a possible lawsuit. In addition, any local law regulating firearms or ammunition would be declared null and void.

The resolution passed by the City Commission urged the Florida legislature to repeal these “draconian punitive punishments” of local elected oÿcials. It also stated that “local governments have a duty to protect their residents, visitors, tourists and businesses and that such duty should not be infringed upon by state government.”

“It’s very diÿcult to be handcuŠ ed by the law, so we’re looking at how to challenge it,” said Pompano Beach City A‘ orney Mark Berman.

On March 1, Berman a‘ ended a meeting of city a‘ orneys from around Broward County to discuss a possible challenge to the statute or the repeal of certain provisions that prevent cities from doing what they need to do to protect their residents. A second meeting took place one week later.Ÿ In February, the City Commission of Weston voted to file a lawsuit against the state of Florida, seeking a declaration that the provisions of the statute punishing local elected oÿcials for enacting gun regulations are invalid. Weston invited other cities to join the lawsuit, which challenges the constitutionality of the provisions.

As a result, a resolution was placed on the agenda of the Pompano Beach City Commission meeting held on March The 15-page resolution was sent by the Pompano Beach 13 for the City of Pompano Beach to join the lawsuit. The city clerk to President Donald Trump, Gov. Rick Sco‘, the resolution passed with a vote of X:X. United States Congressional Delegations from Florida, the The resolution states that the penalties provided for in Broward County Legislative Delegation and the Broward the statute “strike at the core of the American system of League of Cities. democratic representation: they suppress, in an insidious, Other cities in Broward County, including Weston and Orwellian fashion, the voice of the local electorate through Coral Springs, passed similar resolutions. intimidation of local elected oÿcials.” It also says that they ABOVE Students at Pompano Beach High School “infringe on the free speech rights of the City Commission, participate in a 17-minute walkout in honor of the 17 victims and interfere with their ability to perform their oÿcial of the tragedy in Parkland.

duties,” and that the removal of a municipal oÿ cial who has not been indicted for any crime violates due process.

“I believe that consensus will be built in Broward County throughout 31 municipalities and the majority of them will come together, and we’ll have be‘ er strength in numbers,” said Mayor Fisher.

“It’s very difficult to be handcuffed by the law, so we’re looking at how to challenge it,” — Pompano Beach City Attorney Mark Berman

July. The shows used to be held at the Elks Lodge, before it closed last year.

Fisher said he and the city a‘ orney are looking very closely at how gun shows at public facilities in Pompano can be stopped “immediately” and, he hopes, “forever,” with the City Commission’s approval.

Meanwhile, on March 7, the Florida House in a close vote passed a school safety package that includes the first notable gun control measures in Florida in more than 20 years.

Two days later, Gov. Rick Sco‘ , surrounded by family members of students killed in the Parkland shooting, signed the bill into law.

One of the most controversial topics in the gun debate is the so-called “gun-show loophole.” Under Florida law, a licensed gun dealer is required to run a background check on a buyer. If someone purchases a gun from a private seller, such as at gun shows, no background check is required.

Soon after the Parkland shooting, Mayor Fisher called the promoter of a gun show that was scheduled to take place at the Emma Lou Olson Civic Center on the weekend of March 3 and 4. He asked them to cancel the show, and they did. Gun shows hosted by the same promoter are scheduled to take place at the Emma Lou Olson Civic Center in April, June and

STUDENT ACTIVISM On the one-week anniversary of the mass shooting at Parkland’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, thousands of students at close to 50 schools in South Florida, including Pompano Beach High School, walked out of their classes or staged some form of protest to demand lawmakers make changes to prevent further gun violence.

On Feb. 26, students from Pompano Beach High School marched the 17 miles to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School to show their support. The following day, over 130 students from Pompano Beach High School marched to Pompano Beach City Hall. They remained there for about an hour, chanting and listening to speakers.

“I can tell you how much that affected me, personally, as a community leader,” Pompano Beach Mayor Lamar Fisher said at the commission meeting that took place later that day.

He recounted how one of the students who came up to him was crying because she knew two of the Parkland victims from her church.

“She looked at me and said, ‘Mayor, what are you going to do for us? We are relying on you to make the difference.

Can you promise me that you will do everything you can to not let this happen again?’”

“It was pretty moving,” said Fisher.

“My response was, obviously: I will do anything I can – physically, professionally, politically and humanly –

not to let this happen again.”

Fisher said the students were determined, and that “this is not going to sit on a shelf.”

“They’re the upcoming generation…and they’re going to make the difference.”

Tijuana Taxi Co. MEXICAN Perhaps it’s the all day happy hour (Mon.-Fri., 11am-7pm) with $5 El Jimador margaritas, but as soon as you enter, the weight of the day lifts off your shoulders.

The atmosphere is friendly and fun all around. There is outdoor patio seating available and a large U-shaped bar inside. The portions are generous — certainly enough for a doggie bag. We loved the spicy shrimp tacos — soft flour tortillas filled with Cajun-grilled shrimp in a spicy chile lime sauce, topped with cilantro slaw, avocado and pico de gallo. The menu has a lot more than tacos — there’s all the Mexican favorites plus burgers, sandwiches, steaks and more.

And for the little ones there is kids night on Sunday: kids eat for 99 cents from the $4.99 kids menu. 1015 S. Federal Highway, 954-708-2775 $ The Tipperary Pub. IRISH • AMER-

The Nauti Dawg Marina Café. AMERICAN Nestled in at the Lighthouse Point Marina, the Nauti Dawg is a local favorite. Start with the tuna wontons—crispy fried wonton wrappers topped with tuna tartare, seaweed salad, red pepper mayo, wasabi and a hit of sirracha. For a taste of New England with a twist, try the lobster roll. Of course you can’t go wrong with the fresh fish sandwich—ask what the catch of the day is. The fish Reuben is another great sandwich option—just sub in some fresh fish for the pastrami and you’ve got yourself a little healthier version of the classic. All sandwiches come with a side and while French fries are always a delicious option—the restaurant offers a tangy cucumber salad (among other choices) that provides a nice crunch to any sandwich. They are a dog-friendly restaurant. 2830 NE 29th Ave. (at the Lighthouse Point Marina), 954-941-0246 $$ Papa’s Raw Bar. SUSHI • SEAFOOD Situated next door to their parent restaurant Seafood World, Papa’s indeed seems like the hip child of an established restaurant. While the fresh food is the real star, the Keys-inspired décor certainly accounts for part of their charm. The menu goes way beyond typical raw bar offerings with inventive tacos and sliders. Papa’s also offers a wide array of sushi and sashimi. Start off with one of the towers of Van Buskirk (you’ll find a few menu items named after locals.) The bare naked lady version is a combination of spicy wahoo and tuna with tobiko and masago topped with spicy mayo and served with taro chips. And to wash it all down, they have about a zillion craft beer options and a good wine list too. 4610 N. Federal Highway, 754-307-5034 $$ Red Lotus. THAI Red Lotus serves all of your favorite Thai dishes from pad Thai to red and green curries and more. Start with the dumplings—the pasta is delicate and they are packed with flavor.

dining review

BY MRS. KOSSENFLOFFER (@mrs_kossenfloffer)

Cafe Med at the Wyndham If a trip to Positano is not in your immediate future, but you long for a beautiful Italian meal overlooking the sea, then plan your next dinner outing at Cafe Med at the Wyndham Deerfield Beach Resort. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating, and when the weather is pleasant they open up the glass doors so diners can enjoy a gentle breeze off of the Atlantic.

Celmente “Lillo” Teodosi took charge of the kitchen at Cafe Med in May 2016.

His strong Italian roots coupled with over 30 years of experience qualifies him to offer creative new takes on traditional Italian cuisine. Lillo was born and raised in Rome, Italy where he was “thrown into the kitchen” at 9 years of age. He moved from Europe to Chicago in 1979 and opened four different restaurants there before he moved to Boca Raton.

At Cafe Med every table is presented with a warm, crusty Italian bread served with three distinctive dips; parsley and garlic, red pepper and artichoke and an

olive tapenade. I’ve been to Cafe Med more times than I can count, yet I still can’t pick which one is my favorite. I do know that I could make a meal out of that bread and those dips.

For a lovely and light start to any meal, the finocchino con arance e olive is a refreshing salad of shaved fennel, arugula, oranges and olives in a lemon citronette. The close proximity to the sea may put you in the mood for seafood. There are plenty of options. We had an impressive combination of clams, mussels, shrimp and scallops and lobster all served in a light and perfectly spicy tomato sauce — a perfect vehicle for dipping that bread.

There is a plethora of steaks and chops and plenty of pasta options. One of our favorites is the tagliatelle mari mari, a Roman pasta dish with shrimp, clams, mussels, pancetta, mushrooms and peas in a roasted tomato sauce served over pasta that you can actually taste.

They offer three classic Italian desserts: ricotta cheesecake, tiramisu and cannoli. (There is also a gelato shop in the hotel — percect for an aprés dinner cone and a stroll on the beach.)

Café Med is located at 2096 NE Second St., Deerfield Beach (at the Wyndham Resort) 954-596-5840 $$$

For a traditional German meal, try the wienerschnitzel — it’s divine a lightly breaded veal cutlet sautéed in lemon butter and topped with homemade brown gravy.
